Elandon Roberts reveals what drove him to return to Steelers
Head coach Mike McCarthy knew of Roberts through reputation, but saw the credibility he has with the team on Friday night.
Elandon Roberts, the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker, has returned to the team after a successful stint with the Raiders. In an interview, Roberts shared the reason behind his decision to rejoin the Steelers. He reflected on the familiarity and comfort he experiences in Pittsburgh, saying, "I was in the dorm room last night and I was just kinda looking up at the walls."
Roberts had previously spent two years with the Steelers, where he made 29 starts and accumulated 147 total tackles. The return to Pittsburgh was made easier by his reunion with defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who had worked with Roberts during his time with the Raiders. Head coach Mike McCarthy recognized Roberts' reputation, but was particularly impressed by the trust he has gained within the team.
